Primary
Practice presents a solo exhibition 《Waterfall and
Thrill》 by artist CHA Jeamin, on view through February
7.
The
exhibition 《Waterfall and Thrill》 takes the city’s artificial waterfalls, the underpasses and
riverbank along Hongjecheon as a single habitat, re-invoking the emotional
states of the beings that move through these spaces.

If
“waterfall” is the pain of a movement that repeats itself in the same place,
then “thrill” is the heightened sensation that brushes past us as we watch it,
and the exhibition begins from the slippage where these two affects intersect.
Through
video, drawing, and collage, CHA Jeamin asks how rhythms of staying, enduring,
and recovery arise in everyday life, and continuously unsettles what is allowed
to become the center. This overlay shifts the city’s peripheries into an
affective center, reawakening sensations we had been passing by.
